FNG “Old Glory” Comes to The Charge

FNG “Old Glory” Comes to The Charge

The SF was FNG to The Charge this morning.  No foolin’.  John Deere, Baracus and Double D’s (in absentia) have assured that the SF will return soon.  Anyway, the only FNG was firmly planted, the pax was disclaimed and 18 hearty humpday fartsack forsakers began their charge.

The Thang:

Jog to track.  Run one lap and to midfield for COP.

COP:

SSH x 25 IC

Slow Squat x 25 IC

H-R Merkin x 25 IC

Flutter x 25 IC

6-count Burpee x 10 IC

Form teams of 3 for some lap work.

#2 starts across the track from #1 & #3. #1 Runs 200m while #2 & #3 do CDD’s. Then #2 Runs 200m & #1 & #3 continue CDD’s.  Then #3 runs 200m while #1 & #2 do CDD’s.

Rinsed & Repeated 3x with following exercises: Freddy Mercury, MC, LBC.  So each of the pax ran a mile (I think) during this segment.

Jog up & around to the stadium stairs.  This is the point at which YHC suffered Q failure.  #poorplanning   A couple of the pax including Awena rightly pointed out how we should have done it; but we didn’t so what we did in teams of 3 was sort of like this….

#1 runs up one segment of stairs, over, and down the next while #2 does Derkins and #3 does Incline Merkins. Then #2 runs, and then #3 runs.  Think we did 2ish full circuits of that.  #Cobain

Mosey to the lot.

Lunge walk 1/2 way back to launch lot.  Bearcrawl 2nd 1/2 back to the launch lot.

6 MoM:

Dancing Chilcutt x 13 IC

Knee Up x 6 IC (YHC was hurtin’…blame that on the 100s of Knee Ups Swamp called Monday….yes 2 days ago)

Protractor with some 10-count hold assistance from Far Side and Awena

Plankorama w/Laettner, Southern Gentleman, Yankee Aggressor

Nippler x 13 IC

6-count burpee x 10 IC

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

When YHC pulled onto the PDS campus with 10+ minutes to spare – did not expect anyone, much less 3 of the pax, to be there already.  #eagerpax  One in particular – Ray Charles, a PDS alum, was parked in his same parking spot he used as a senior in ’87?  ’88?  He was disappointed there was no plaque to commemorate that historical reality.  He later chose a strategic spot in COP which was the point at which he intercepted a pass and returned it for a TD vs. the NC School for the Deaf, Mute & Blind…..that is no April Fool’s Joke.  Ask him about.  #amnesialane #gloryyears

Shout out to Far Side who was Kotters.  Welcome back, indeed!  My man was flying around that track…hard to believe he hasn’t posted in months.

Good crew at The Charge.  Only drawback to this outstanding AO is the absence of the beloved SF.  Baracus assured me he would address this with Raider or Strange Brew.  Double D’s certainly is not concerned.  #wrongsideofpond  And John Deere bleeds red, white & blue. #merica

Dick Clark was to be my co-Q but he’s on short-term IR.  Get well brother.

Strong work by The Charge pax.  It was a privilege to lead you men this morning.

Thanks also to Baracus for the prayer in COT.  Please remember NoCo’s IKEA and his family in your prayers due to the tragic death of his bride.  My heart aches for him, but God is faithful men.  Always.
